This game is a good reminder why you shouldn't judge young players and teams on small sample sizes. How do they respond once they've been scouted and a good defense anticipates their tendencies? Tonight the answer with both Clarkson and Sexton was not well. Cavs are running a smaller playbook/simple offense because of Sexton but well-coached opposing teams know it as well as our guys now.

Wolves have been one of the leages best defenses after they added Covington.
They definitely game planned against Sexton
and he didn't play well on top of it.
Overall our defense was not consistent tonight and not having nwaba was huge.

Well held them to 102 points. The way the current league is, you've got to score enough to win that game.

The mini run in the end was ok though
